Canadian Parliament

I like the halo appearance in one of Charles Sheeler paintings, the buildings were outlined in a contrasting colour. This approach wasn't successful for me. In light of the world politics this year, not to name anything specifically, I am feeling patriotic. My personal challenge was to work in an analogous colour theme.

I like what you have done. The simplicity but boldness of values of colour work. Not sure how it appears on others screens but at first when looking I thought maybe the 'halo' hues were a tad pink but in fact I like it.

You have approached his style really well and the colours do work together in harmony. Well done on capturing the graphics he used in most of his work. Very brave of you to use the colours you used but they work well together.

Very brave to have used these analogous colours ! Thinking outside the box is not something I can easily do so I commend you . With that you have managed to fully express the Sheeler graphic style -a great achievement

I am always impressed when others are brave (confident?) enough to break the mould and do something totally different. I wouldn't have had the courage to do this piece, Colleen, but you have pulled it off! Nice one.Hilary
